Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 999 One of the Legends About Bubbles
Li Shimin understood what Liumu meant, because he could earn more money, so businessmen were willing to invest in research.

Liu Mu said: "Yes, faster boats, more efficient looms, this is the pursuit, and this is the advancement of science and technology to earn more coins."

"In a word, properly release some end-of-the-line technologies to the people. If you find something very special and good, you will accept it. Give a certain amount of financial subsidies to the inventor. The most cutting-edge things must be guarded at the top of the empire. And there is , Another use of Fusang Island, high-pollution workshops should be built there.”

Li Shimin doesn't like black sky and black water very much, he likes blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green water.

"The output of Xingzhou Steelworks has reached its limit. It's not that it can't be expanded, but that if it expands, it will affect the surrounding forests. This world must be protected."

Liu Mu agreed with Li Shimin's statement.

Li Shimin asked Liu Mu again: "The stock trading account department said that it can be released with conditions, but the futures trading account department thinks it's terrible, what do you think?"

"Second brother, after 1000 years, there is a small country called Holland just north of the Mediterranean Sea we control right now."

"En." Li Shimin nodded.

Li Shimin knew very well that Liu Mu couldn't remember everything that happened in the past 400 years, but he had indeed read a lot of books, and his knowledge was extensive, but not perfect.

Many things are triggered in the memory part for some reason.

Liu Mu continued: "There is already a futures market in the Netherlands. One day, someone discovered a very beautiful flower called tulip. This kind of flower is so beautiful that it is loved and sought after by the aristocracy. Many speculators discovered this phenomenon. , they pay high prices for tulip bulbs."

Hearing this, Li Shimin asked, "Just like a narcissus."

"Yes, it sprouts from bulbous roots like narcissus."

"Go on."

"Next, countless people participated in it, and many peddlers who sold fish and vegetables also joined in. They were willing to exchange all their family property for a tulip bulb, because they believed that someone would pay double the price to buy it."

Li Shimin smiled contemptuously, he could feel the stupidity beneath this madness.

Liu Mu continued: "This kind of madness has lasted for 30 years, and an ordinary bulb has risen to 64 shields. I don't know how much a shield is worth, but it should be worth a small silver coin."

"unimportant."

Li Shimin doesn't care how much a shield is worth in Tang coins, he only cares about this story.

Liu Mu began to talk again: "Suddenly, in just one month, the price of a corm has been raised to 660 dong. This increase has made countless people happy and crazy."

"When extreme joy begets sorrow!"

"Yes, and two days later, the price of a bulb was only [-] guilders, and the whole of the Netherlands went bankrupt. The state as the main body went bankrupt."

Li Shimin stroked his beard and suddenly revealed a smile.

Liu Mu caught Li Shimin's smile: "Second brother, do you plan to use it in Goguryeo?"

"It's not bad, it also shows the horror of speculation to the people of Datang. Datang can just legislate against speculators. Datang allows investment, allows anyone to come to invest, but does not allow anyone to speculate, whether it is The clan is still a nobleman, and the decision will be made."

Li Shimin had a smile on his face, but his heart was full of fear.

It is a terrifying thing that the price plummeted [-] times in two days and bankrupted a country.

Liu Mu lowered his head, as if he was thinking.

Li Shimin looked at Liumu for a long time, and said, "You don't agree?"

"No, I agree, it's just that there are more terrible things in this world. I don't know much about coin wars. I don't study economics and finance. But I do know the three big bubbles in the world, and the tulip is one of them. In addition to bubbles, there are more terrifying things, Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes."

"These two are similar but also different. Some people say that the Ponzi scheme is the ancestor of the pyramid scheme, and the pyramid is the sublimation."

Liu Mu didn't have a deep understanding of these two, but there were countless reports in the news of later generations.

Li Shimin was stunned.

Li Shimin has an extremely high understanding of swords and swords in war. This invisible horror of war makes this ruthless man who has been carrying a knife on the battlefield since he was 14 years old frightened his back with cold sweat.

"Yes, you can give it a try." Li Shimin finally said such a sentence.

Liu Mu didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

The life and death of Bangzi has nothing to do with Liumu. It is indeed a good thing if the people of Datang can see the horror of this economic and financial war and feel afraid.

In fact, Li Shimin also hoped that Goguryeo could be taken without bloodshed, after all, there are millions of people there.

More importantly, the population of Bangzi is a copy of the Central Plains in terms of appearance, culture, and system. This is a good way to increase the population of Datang, instead of having too many foreign slaves.

Talk about Goguryeo at this time.

Yuan Gai Su Wen had already begun to doubt.

Yuan Gai Suwen said to Yuan Pure Land: "It has been two years. According to the information we have received, the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Wa Yamato Kingdom has been fought for almost three years. The war at sea has been confronted almost every day. The Tang Dynasty has been damaged. Thousands of warships, tens of thousands of transport ships."

Yuan Jingtu said, "Tang will definitely win."

"Confused, with Datang's national strength, how could it be possible to consume such a huge amount of power and still not be able to defeat Wa Yamato? Based on my understanding of Wa Yamato, if Datang loses so many warships, Wa Yamato will increase by at least five times. Do you think the Yamato Congress Are there fifty thousand transports?"

Only then did Yuan Pure Land react: "Could it be that this is fake?"

"I don't know." Yuan Gai Suwen shook his head: "Damage is not a loss, and it can be used after repair. So just saying that the damage of the battleship cannot be said to be suspicious. What really makes me doubt is that we seem to be trapped. All roads and roads are under the control of Datang, we can't get out."

It was only by saying that he couldn't get out that he expressed Yuan Gai Suwen's real worry.

Yuan Pure Land obviously didn't think too much, he said: "But the Tang people didn't come in, they only operated in a few docks and ports. Take Wangdu as an example, their activities were only in Tangfang. Maoshan delineated No one in the Tang Dynasty has crossed the boundary, and they have never restricted our officials to work in iron mines."

Yuan Gai Suwen pressed his hands on his head, he felt a headache, and he couldn't figure it out.

Yuan Jingtu also said: "The monthly purchases of the Tang people and the goods shipped in made us extremely rich in Koguryo. The coins in the national inventory were enough to fight two wars with the Sui that year."
